Cathy Freeman Foundation

Education changes lives.

The Cathy Freeman Foundation delivers education programs that help broaden horizons and inspire Indigenous students to experience their full potential in school.

The Foundation acknowledges the strength and wisdom that lies within remote Indigenous communities. Our work demands strong and trusting partnerships with community, elders and school leaders. We partner with communities for the long haul, as we journey through the complexities of the work required to create social change.

The vision of the Cathy Freeman Foundation is simple but ambitious:An Australia where Indigenous and non-Indigenous children have the same education standards and opportunities in life.

The Cathy Freeman Foundation could not continue to deliver these programs without public support and fundraising through community events. Many people choose to support the Cathy Freeman Foundation by raising funds through their participation in a range of active events throughout the year, including the Melbourne Marathon. This incredible group of people are known as Team Freeman.
